Josh McDaniels taps two more Patriots assistants for Raiders OC and OL coach

Two more key positions on the Raiders coaching staff are now filled. And once again Josh McDaniels reaches back to those with whom he is familiar, nabbing former Patriots wide receivers coach Mick Lombardi as his new offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo for the same position.

Lombardi has been a coach at the NFL level since 2013. He and Bricillo have been with the Patriots for three seasons. Lombardi started out with the Pats in 2019 as assistant quarterbacks coach, while Bricillo was assistant Oline coach. Lombardi and Bricillo have spent the past two seasons as WR coach and OL coach respectively.

With the hiring of Lombardi as OC, all three coordinators are now in house. Previously Patrick Graham was hired as defensive coordinator and Tom McMahon as special teams coordinator.

Lombardi comes on board with several offensive coaches already in place. McDaniels had already poached Patriots offensive assistant Bo Hardegree as the team’s new QB coach. He also opted to retain WR coach Edgar Bennett.

Other assistants in place include DB coach Chris Ash, Defensive passing game coordinator Jason Simmons, and defensive assistant Rob Ryan.
